Former Super Eagles defender, Sam Sodje has expressed his frustration with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) over the delay in appointing a new head coach for the national team.
Following the resignation of former Ajax winger, Finidi George in June, the NFF has been considering hiring a foreign technical adviser for the Super Eagles.
However, this delay has left the team without a substantive head coach at a crucial time, with the team set to kick off their campaign for a spot in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations next month.
Sodje emphasized the negative impact of the NFF’s indecision on Nigerian football at a critical period in which the Super Eagles have a very slim chance of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
He lamented the decline of football in the country and stressed the importance of promptly appointing a coach to lead the national team.
“It’s just sad that we’re still talking about a coach and there’s nothing we can say,” Sodje told Brila FM.
“Not only football, but sports in the country have really gone down. I think football has been something that we have to agree that we’ve lost touch with.
“Not having a coach at this time is terrible. But just because we have to play the game, having an interim manager might be the best idea, but it has to be done ASAP.”
